Separate Fires Across Germany Leave Munich Man Critical and Erzgebirge Home Uninhabitable

Officials say some causes are confirmed, others remain under investigation.

Overview

  • Munich firefighters rescued an 80-year-old from a very hot, smoke-filled kitchen in Zamdorf, and he was taken to a clinic’s shock room with life-threatening injuries as the blaze was confined to his apartment.
  • In Breitenbrunn’s Tellerhäuser district, police said a heating-room fire was caused by a technical defect, and although no one was hurt the house was deemed uninhabitable.
  • With the local fire engine in the workshop, surrounding volunteer brigades reached Tellerhäuser in roughly eight minutes to manage the overnight incident.
  • In Dresden-Gruna, a car fire spread to a nearby van in the evening, with no injuries reported and police and fire officials stating that the cause is still under investigation.
  • In Augsburg-Oberhausen, a balcony furniture fire late Wednesday was quickly extinguished without injuries, and tram line 2 and nearby traffic were briefly disrupted for about 45 minutes.
